B) That based on the evidence presented at the public hearing, the Commission recommends APPROVAL of CT 77-8(A)/CP-45, based on the following findings and subject to the following conditions: Findings 1) The project is consistent with the city's current general plan since it is within the density range specified for the site as indicated on the Land Use Element of the General Plan, 2 11 17' 20 21 23 2) The site is physically suitable for the type and density of the development since the site is adequate in size and shape . to accommodate residential development at the density and still meet all the requirements of the condominium ordinance. 3 3) The project is consistent with all city public facility policies and ordinances since: a) The applicant has received 60 edu's from the Leucadia County Water District.6 _„ The Planning Commission has, by inclusion of an appro- " priate condition to this Condominium Permit and tentative subdivision map, insured that the final map will not be approved unless the City Council finds that sewer service is available to serve the project. In addition, the Planning Commission has added a condi- tion that a note shall be placed on the final map that building permits may not be issued for the condominium project unless the City Engineer determines that sewer service is available. Since the final map cannot be approved unless sewer service is available, and building cannot occur within the project unless sewer service remains available, the Planning Commission is satisfied that the requirements of the public facilities element of the general plan have been met insofar as they apply •*• to sewer service for this Condominium Permit and __ tentative map approval.15 c.

I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The applicant is proposing a 60 unit mndominium develop- ment on the east side of El Camino Bed..w north of _ "Westbluff Plaza". The units are geaaarally proposed in four-unit clusters, with each buildup taking access off of a private driveway. Each driwway-, in turn, connects with an existing public s toast*;,.Sandpiper Place. This street ends in a cul-de-accat the northern boundary of the site as shown on ExhifitVA" . The proposed condominium project is loated in an area that is designated as RMH by the LaodUSe Element of the Ca-lsbad General Plan. This designation allows a density of 10-20 dwelling units per ar:e?,,,the proposed project will have a density of 11.5 nits-per acre. The subject property was previously divided into a total of 16 lots, and building pads *«*'*>&* graded, in conjunction with the approval of CT7J-8. As a result the lots are relatively leveland*devoid of any sianifleant flora or fauna. The padst-^p up towards the northern end of the property, waltlan elevation differential of approximately 20 feeibafcween the northern and southern boundaries of Website. Approx- imately 1600 cubic yards of additioriajgr.ading is proposed to prepare the site for de\*s>tmen|- II. ANALYSIS Issues COPY 1 Does the proposed condominium .p^ect conform with the development standards of theondominium ordinance? 2 Does the proposed condominium:^ ject conform with the design criteria of the coaftdnium ordinance? Development Standards The applicant proposes to provide one covered parking space and one open parking space per unit. Guest parking will be available along Sandpiper Place where there is sufficient space to accommodate 28 cars, meeting the visitor parking requirements. In regards to building setbacks, all of the buildings will be setback at least 30' from El Camino Real. This 30' area will be heavily landscaped to shield the condominiums from El Camino Real. The two southernmost buildings will be setback at least 20 feet from Dove Lane. This area will also be heavily landscaped to shield these buildings from the traffic on Dove Lane. All except one of the proposed condominium buildings will be setback 30' - 40' from Sandpiper Place, a private street serving this development. The one exception is the eight unit building located at the southwestern corner of the project. This building is setback 10 feet from Sandpiper Place. Due to the location of this building with streets on all three sides the applicant and the staff felt a 10 foot setback from Sandpiper Place was acceptable. This complies with the minimum 10' setback from a private street required by the condominium ordinance. All of the buildings will be setback at least 10 feet from the parking areas. 1* tennis court will be constructed at the northern edge of the site and barbecue facilities will be located adjacent to each of the buildings, meeting all open/ recreational space requirements. In terms of storage, a small amount of storage will be available in the front section of the garages. A condition has been added to the approval of this project requiring that additional storage be provided so that each unit has at least 480 cubic feet of storage area accessible to the outside. Design Criteria. This project meets all of the design criteria of the condominium ordinance. The street pattern should provide adequate circulation, yet will not be the dominant feature of this development. The open space and recreational areas are readily accessible to each of the buildings. This project will be located between an existing shopping center and an existing apartment complex, both of which have been constructed by the applicant. The architecture of this project will be similar to that of the existing apartments and should fit in well with the surrounding development. —2— The applicant has indicated to the staff that eventually he would like to integrate this project with his existing apartments if they are converted to condominiums. The applicant has indicated via dashed lines on Exhibit A * the location of future parking areas along the northern edge of this project. These parking spaces would be required if the existing apartments were converted to condominiums. Approval of this tentative map and condominium permit in no way indicates approval of the proposed future driveway and parking improvements along the northerly portion of the property nor does it justify a future conversion of the existing apartments. These parking spaces and driveway improvements will have to be approved as part of the application for the future conversion of the existing apartments. III. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 1663, recommending APPROVAL to the City Council of CT 77-8(A)/CP-45, and Resolution No. 1664, APPROVING SDP 80-8, based on the findings and subject to the conditions contained therein.
